We Did it!!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that Michael and I got Married on Sept 25th 2009. It was the Greatest day of my life to find and Marry the Most Wonderful man who loves me for me and who makes me SOOOO Happy... Pic's Coming Soon!!!

Let Me Introduce You To....

Micheal Thomas Hellewell... He is the Love of My Life...

Micheal and I met on New Years Eve (2008 into 2009) at a get together with some friends. Michael just so happens to be the nephew of someone who is just like a mom to me.. My Mama J.. and is also the cousin of a good friends of mine. Hence how we met... Anyways.. I never thought of Michael as anything other then Scotts cousin or as Michael my really strange friend.. In fact Mama J once told me that I should date Michael and all I said was "Eww... That's Gross!"

(P.S.) He I took him to get this hair cut... You should have seen his hair before...

Well as time went on Michael and I started hanging out more and more and became good friends. On May 1st Scott was at a camp out and so we decided that we would just go do something.. We decided to go to a park and just hang out and talk.. Well after several hours of talking I really started to look at Michael Differently.. I went home more confused then ever.. because at the time I was getting ready to start my Mission Papers..







Through out the weekend and into the next week we spent a lot of time together because we just plain out enjoyed talking to each other... I'm sure you can guess what happened next.. YES.. We.. Well really me fell hard for him.. Just look at him.. He's a Stud.. He was already in that "place" it just took me 5 months to open my eyes and see what was standing right in front of me.. We have grown very close and I love him to death.. He make me soo happy... And you know what it was that really got me.. It was that he opened EVERY SINGLE door for me...

April Showers Bring Beautiful Flowers

Its no secret that SpRiNg is my favorite season.. I love flowers and I love Rain.. I was excited to have a day off with for the most part good weather so I could plant my flowers..

I got even more excited when I got out my super awesome Green Gardening Gloves that my mom bought me last year...

These are the Daffodils on the side of my house..

Here are my Tulips (My Fav) around my tree.. I planted these when I was 16 and they never fail to come up every year...

Close up of my Tulips..

A picture of some of the flowers I bought and of the plant I got for Scott.

Another picture of the flowers I'm putting around my tree with my Tulips.. When the Tulips are gone they'll get big and be full of Wonderful Colors.

I have four Large pots in from of my house to put flowers in.. They look small now but give them a few weeks and the flowers with be taking over and flowing over the edge.. I can't wait...

My Tulips after a good weeding and after planting my New Flowers.. Stay tuned for more pictures of my flowers as they grow and become a pallet of Colors!!!

A Day of Many Adventures

Yesterday my day started Bright and Early with a Phone call from some friends of mine across the street.. They were calling to invite Matthew my lil bro and I to Breakfast.. Who would pass up FREE FOOD right.. So of course we went.. We had Yummy Pancakes, Bacon and eggs.. It the perfect breakfast for the day that I was about to have.... After Breakfast Matthew, Conner(Matthews Friend) and I went on a hike on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail in Provo above Rock Canyon Park... It was a perfect day for a hike.. Not to hot with a slight breeze...

This is just a picture I took of the Mountain side as we were hiking.. So green and pretty...

These are the mountains on the right as we first started our hike...

We found several little streams of meting snow as we were hiking and so I thought I would take a pic of one.. they were beautiful and peaceful to listen to as we were taking a break....

There were lots of little caves along the way.. it was cool to see and go exploring inside some of them.. We were trying to be like Bear Grylls from "Man VS Wild"... I know were dorks!!!

I got these next 2 pic. backwards.. Conner and Matthew ran up this mountain side to get to the large rocks.. (Above) Can you see them with their arms up? (Below) The Boys hiking up there...

Here's the Stream again.... OOPS!!!

Me with the stream in the back ground... Well Kinda!!

A little ways into our hike we stopped to look around and if you looked closely between the trees you can see the Provo Temple!!

Oops!! I forgot the Sunscreen... Looks like the beginning of a sunburn..

It was great being able to take advantage of the one of Gods many Creations.. It was very peaceful and wonderful being surrounded by all of the Beautiful Nature..

After our hike we went to our Grandparents house for a Better Late then Never Easter Egg Hunt... My Grandparents have a HUGE yard with a pasture as well, so it makes for lots of good hiding places.. When I was younger I was always one of the last to find my eggs... even when I got older I still was one of the last to find my eggs.. My grandma took pity on me and started hiding my eggs around the yard with all the little kids eggs.. even with that it still took me hours to find them.. SO this year she told me that ALL of my eggs where in ONE spot all I had to do was find that spot.. After a long time of searching this is what I found. ALL of my eggs in a BRIGHT PINK bag tied up in one of their trees... Thank you Gram's and Gramp's for taking MORE pity on me and making it even easier for your poor grand-daughter to find her Easter eggs.. After the hunt we had a Yummy BBQ..

Later on I met up with some friends (Scott, Michael and Taly) and we went to SLC.. I had never been to the Gate Way Mall and so Scott stepped up to his friendly duty and said he would take me. When we got there of course our first stop was to the Planetarium.. It was SOOOO Awesome.. As many of you know.. I LUV STARS!!! This picture is of an area where you could see what it was like to walk on the moon...

After walking around we went to the gift shop and played with everything.. Here's Scott sportin 2 pairs of sun glasses... He also bought himself a Wickedly Awesome Frisbee...

After wards we decided it was time to get something to Eat. After a Mean game of Rock Paper scissors.. (Which once again I lost) We went to the Sky Box for dinner.. We got to sit in Stadium seating and watch 3 different games on 3 HUGE screens while eating our dinner.. Taly Order a Monster Burger. None of us thought it was this big..

Here she is Divin into her Hamburger.. She managed to finish Half of it. plus some fries...

WAY TO GO TALY!!!

After Dinner we walked around Gateway some more.. and enjoyed the Nice Night.. We listened to a band play and even got to see a cool Guy playing the bag pipes...

While enjoying the nice night Scott got an Awesome Idea to go and hike Ensign Peek.. I was totally excited because I remember hiking that when I was 14 for Youth Conference.. Then I realised I wasn't wearing the best footwear for the hike.. After joking around for a min we decided to hike it anyways...

I found this pic. on the Internet.. This is at the top of Ensign Peek....

As we started up the trail of course my feet started to Kill.. Rocks where getting in my shoes, and I could feel every little thing I stepped on, and my shoes were starting to rub on the heels.. But after many stops and much patients from my friends we made it to the top.. And my shoes where still white!!!

Once we got there I sat on the edge and this is what I saw.. As I sat there thinking about my sore feet.. I was suddenly over come by a sweet spirit.. and all of a sudden I didn't care about my feet.. I thought about what all the Pioneers went threw to get to this Beautiful Valley.. and the trails they over came.. I also thought about the all of the trials I had gone threw over the past few years and how I was able to over come them and how it was like climbing that mountain.. It was tough and I often felt like giving up.. but with help I was able to make to the top.. Just like I did when even I felt like changing my life was to hard and not worth it My Heavenly Father Picked me up and Helped me make it to the top.. As the rest of them were talking I sat and starred at the SLC Temple and thought how much I really wanted to go there.. It has been 13 years since the last time I was worthy to go inside the Temple and I thought how grateful I was for the Repentance process and that Heavenly Father suffered my sins for me so that I can be forgiven and made clean again.. I can't wait for the day when I can inside the Temple again.. (Hopefully very very Soon) so I can feel again the reverence and spirit that it there.. I am very grateful for Scott for suggesting this wonderful idea... After our hike back down the mountain we headed home.. I felt bad because I was very quiet on the drive home but I was just trying to let all of emotions I had felt sink in.. and I also didn't want to let anyone else know that I had been crying.. ( I get the over-whelming crying from my mom)

So that was my day of adventures.. It was full of Fun, Food, Family and Friends!!!

Beauty Salon

Every time I go over to my Friends the Kellys house their youngest and sometimes middles child has to do 2 things. 1- get some lip gloss and 2- play with my hair. So Last Sunday she was putting all of her bows and clips in my hair and I tried to get pics of them ALL but all you can see is the font of my hair..

Isn't Leland Super Cute.. I luv this little girl!!! Look at her Sportin her Brush!!

What do ya think? Should I go EVEN SHORTER!!! I don't think so.. BUT I'm defiantly thinking about the color.. I sent a text to a bunch of my friends with this pic telling them I got another hair cut.. I luv'd all the different responses I got... Some people didn't believe me when I told them it was wig so I sent out this next pic to show them that it was.

Trip to The Conference Center

Last Saturday The Young Women and Leaders in my Stake had the opportunity to go to the Conference Center in SLC and attend the YW Conference. The Stake Chartered a Bus so we wouldn't have to drive. It was Listen to the General YW Presidency Speak as well as out beloved Prophet. It was amazing and very inspirational.

This is the Conference Center From the Bus.
